This gorgeous bicycle you’re looking at is known as the Burlington Burner. It was built by Ezra Caldwell of Fast Boy Cycles and belongs to a lucky guy named Jason (of whom I just found out is local). Could you think of a better bike to post after a 5-day dry spell? As soon as I saw Adam at Cycle EXIF‘s post, I knew it’d be the perfect bike to freshen up the feed. Not only are we based in Burlington, VT, the Burlington Burner is also one of my favorite burgers at The Rusty Scuffer (half price on Wednesdays); so this seemed more than fitting.

The bike is perfect for those aimless rides, you know, the ones where time seems to stop as you explore your surroundings. With a Sturmey Archer 2 speed kick-back coaster hub, some fat 29″ slicks, a White Industries drive train, and a top-notch saddle/cockpit setup, it’s ready for more than just those aimless rides. Check out a bunch more photos on the Fast Boy Cycles Flickr.

I bet this photo has you drooling already. This Chiossi Cycles Maino frame was originally built in the 1940s and I’m sure it had lots of love throughout it’s life, but no love like Paolo Chiossi gave to it. He removed the cable and pump bosses, gave it this lovely eggplant paint job, and built up a nice pair of wooden Ghisallo rims. The bike features a dynamo front hub and a 3-speed coaster in the rear, both Sturmey-Archer of course. Check out a few of my favorite shots below and make sure to head over to Cycle EXIF for the full story. Continue reading “Beauties: Chiossi Cycles Maino 3-Speed” »
